Opportunities in Nagpur

Though Nagpur has much to offer in terms of manpower, infrastructure and other facilities, the city isn’t usually found on India’s IT map. But several entrepreneurs have been making innovative use of the city’s biggest advantage cheap, but highly skilled manpower. Stanley Glance explains what Maharashtra’s second capital has to offer India IT Inc.

Nagpur is Maharashtra’s second capital, India’s second greenest city and an orange lover’s paradise. But beyond tourism brochures, Nagpur has close to 40 educational institutes in the vicinity, a technically skilled workforce that is available at relatively lower salaries, and the city also features an international airport in the making. With such credentials one would have thought India’s burgeoning IT and ITeS industries would have jumped at the opportunity with eyes closed. On the contrary, the city rarely even gets mentioned in India’s IT circles.

But this hasn’t deterred several smart entrepreneurs from turning the negatives around to their advantage. Companies like Premier Technologies, Persistent Technology Group, Lambent Technologies and Control IT India, among many others, are some of the success stories that have emerged from this city due to the smart utilisation of available resources
